How well do you know the work of Troy McClure?
Are you familiar with the works of actor Troy McClure? You might know him from Locker Room Towel Fight: The Blinding of Larry Driscoll. But as the IMDb notes, he has had quite a long career.
Mental Floss has a new quiz up at their site, Troy McClure Film or Actual Terrible Movie? It contains 15 questions about the work of McClure (voiced on The Simpsons, of course, by Phil Hartman - the character was retired when Hartman passed away). They give you a film title and you have to guess whether it’s a fake Troy McClure film from an episode of The Simpsons or an actual film that somehow got made (note: just pick a film and the site automatically goes to the next question). I got 10 out of 15, but I think that was more because of my knowledge of bad films than specific episodes of The Simpsons.
Some of the titles of these movies and TV shows are priceless (don’t worry, these aren’t on the quiz): David vs. Super Goliath, Calling All Quakers, Lead Paint: Delicious But Deadly, Smoke Yourself Thin, Pepsi Presents: Fractions. I also like the telethon Let’s Save Tony Orlando’s House (today he would be hosting a special for Ed McMahon).
Justin Timberlake Premieres “The Love Guru”
Justin Timberlake Premieres “The Love Guru”
In the latest chapter of Mike Myers’ absurd character movies, The Love Guru held its Hollywood premiere last night. And star Justin Timberlake brought plenty of ‘sexy’ back to the red carpet.
The “Like I Love You” crooner showed up at Grauman’s Chinese Theater sporting his usual urban look including a retro-pleather-looking jacket with a white shirt/checkered tie combo and a pair of dark denim belted jeans.
As far as world domination is concerned, JT isn’t very far off- he was recently ranked #12 on Forbes World’s Most Powerful Celebrities list for having raked in $100 million in tour ticket sales as well as signing a development deal with MTV and appearing in Pepsi’s Super Bowl commercial.
The Love Guru opens nationwide tomorrow night (Friday June 13th) and stars Justin, along with Mike Myers and brand new mommy Jessica Alba.
Justin Timberlake: Out in NYC
Justin Timberlake: Out in NYC
Fresh off of raving reviews for his role in the hilarious Pepsi/Amazon “Magnetic Attraction” ad that aired during the Super Bowl, Justin Timberlake was spotted spending some time out in New York City on Monday.
According to an insider, the “Like I Love You” singer busied himself shooting his new video with Madonna before spending some time with his sweetheart Jessica Biel.
Then JT headed over to his Big Apple restaurant Southern Hospitality to celebrate the debut of his ad, looking like a true rock star in his black leather coat, wool scarf and belted distressed jeans as he chatted nonchalantly with the closely-following paparazzi.
Later, Timberlake headed over to an exclusive A-list celebrity party at Butter, where stars like Sophia Bush were dancing the night away.
Pepsi: “Justin Timberlake”
Okay, FINALLY! This is really the first, genuine Super Bowl ad of the night. And yes, I laughed out loud when Justin Timberlake got his privates rammed three times into a mail box pole. What a good sport he is to do this commercial. And of course, we get it from Pepsi. If you missed it, Justin has just chastised a friend of his for being immature for sticking chopsticks up his nose, when Justin gets sucked out of a restaurant… literally. The more the gorgeous, Marianne-from-Gilligan’s-Island-type bikini-clad woman sucks on her Pepsi, the more Justin gets sucked through traffic, through playing fields, into mailbox poles…
It’s an ad for winning MP3s and Pepsi and something else. I don’t know– go watch it. But it was funny, and a decently done Super Bowl ad for really the first time this evening.
